Cityin Pink.

We are astonished and highly pleased
with view of an entire city in iink--the
Oldest and at the same time one OF the
most pleasing sights imaginable. In front
of us was perfectly smooth street ITO
feet wide aud two miles long, running
straight away to similar gate at the
other end, and bordered on each side by
many colored palaces and dwellings, with
columns and towers, some with and some
without balconies, but all of a delicate
rose red color, relieved hare and there
with figures or stripes of white. Never
had l seen anything of the kind before,
and the effect was certainly beautiful.

emblems of royalty ever worn by king or
kaiser. AS may be supposed, it is care

covering an area of twenty-five square
feet when spread out, and it is made of
the small, golden hued feathers of the
90. These feathers, each about the size
of ones little finger nail, are fastened TO
a fine network of fiber made from the
bark of the olona. OVERLAPPING each other.
There are at least 5, 900 of these feathers
used in the cloak; there are but two taken
from each bird, which have to be shared
in the dense woods, the feathers plucked
and the birds released, it was a crime to
kill them. The birds are by no means
abundant, necessarily the value of the
cloak is very great. and the keeping of it
in order an endless task This mantle is

OR WHEAT SUPPLY.

The wheat situation in this country is
OF the total available supply last July, in
Guiding the new crop and the remains of
the previous one, we have exported up TO
February I, 10000, 900 of bushels, against
vious year. Our available supply now is
179 600 900 bushels, as against 1873 900, 900
bushels last year at this time. OF our
present supply we shall require 800 900, 900
bushels for home consumption until next
harvest, leaving barely 60, 600, 900 to ex-
port. Last year, during the five months
from February l, to July l, we exported
in wheat and -four %, 900, 900 bushels, and
the foreign demand is likely to be at least
as great now as it was then. The South
Australian wheat crop shows a surplus of
60 900 900 bushels, and this is now com
ing forward, and explains the Indifference
of English buyers to the American supply.
The competition in wheat growing is
sharper than ever before known. Less is
said this year about surplus wheat from
Russia and India, but this Unexpectedly
large crop from South Australia fOrbids
the idea that prices viii go very high for
another year. But wheat is now proper

and with the decreased supplies in English
markets lower prices need not be expect

How TO subsist dense population upon
land that has been d long time cropped.
1t will not be forgotten that population
is prime element of empire, but with
population comes always the problem of
food and raiment and shelter. And that
legislation is wiSest and best which deals
with these questions fundamentally and
in a way TO prevent threatening dangers
rather than wait till those dangers ripen.
The experiment station, assisted by chem
istry, the handmade of agriculture, in
looking into the hidden processes of ma

overcome nature and make her contribute
in some new way to the wants of man;
and possibly in way as notable as did

Napoleon, under the advice of Talleyrand
assigned the duty of finding out how to
make beet sugar, offering 1000, 900 francs

straightway brought success; and to-day
more than one-half the entire sugar prod

But suppose no great victory like this

banks. The towns near the river

covered. 1t came up around the

the water came in at the doors and

but Fuss and Feathers took care of
themselves. The chickens on the
lower roost were drowned; but they
kept on the upper perch, and went
sailing down the river. Fuss was
frightened at the water before him,
and few to the open window of the
hen-house. Feathers followed. Such
a world of waters as they saw. Hay
stacks and fences were floating near
them. Away they went, past the
farms and near the great town. They
were very hungry. Feathers kept
quite still. but Fuss crowed some
times in a lonesome sort of way.
They fioated almost a day, and were
many miles from home, when some
men in 4 skiff put rope around the
hen-house, and drew it ashore. They
were taken to strange yard, and
fed.
At last, the waters went down.

IMPROVING PASTURES. we
have long advocated and practised the
sOiling system as an aid to the dairy farm
er, we have never lost sight of the fact
that a good pasture will afford a COW as
good a living as it is possible to give her.
But the pasture must be a good one and
the feed so abundant that the cow will
not have to travel far to get her fill. Nei-
Their light sandy soil nor a poor stiff clay
that is saturated with water will make
such a pasture. A deep strong loan
upon a hillside that needs no artificial
draining may make a pasture that will
afford good feed all through an ordinary
summer. We have seen very rocky land
of this character that produced heavily of
most excellent feed. Probably the best
way to treat good pasture land that is too
rocky to plough. when any treatment is
necessary, is to pasture with sheep, feed
ing them some grain, or to turn in hogs
to root and turn over the sod killing
weeds and bushes. and then SOW grass
seed abundantly at the proper season of
the year, and work it in the best way pos
Sible.
